Error on submiting an e-Mail

on pressing the Submit-button from a standard form, the following error occures - what might here be the problem.

many thanks in advance

How about a link to the page?

You have set the link to open to itself when it needs to go to a THANK YOU or SUCCESS page.

Hi Karen

Thank you for your answer - but I don't exactly understand what you mean.

If you are talking about the success- and error-URL, there I have entered a success.html and an error.html which I have deployed into the public_html

or are you talking about something different ?

Re: Error on submiting an e-Mail

... or do you mean the 'action' field in the form property dialog

there the content is <echo($_SERVER[%27PHP_SELF%27]);?>

... because I've just seen, that the URL which is shown in the i-net explorer

http://www.tradeescort.com/%3C?%20echo($_SERVER[%27PHP_SELF%27]);?%3E


But I don't know how to change that.

No i mean at the bottom, did you create a thank you page? or a success page? then put the link to the page in the field there on form properties.

If you are talking about the success- and error-URL in the form property dialog ... there I have entered a ./success.html and an ./error.html

I have created a success.html and error.html
and both of them I have deployed into the public_html - folder at the ftp-Server

Re: Error on submiting an e-Mail

Your contact form page is still linked (in your menus) as .html

You need to publish the page as .php (Page Properties, Extension when published -> php)

I imagine that you are testing the .html page, so it says page not found, because the "action" <? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?> remains such. If instead you publish it as .php, it will be changed to the page name itself (which is correct)
